    was ingrained in his boxing genetics, as it is in most of us. I've moved around and lived in several areas through the U.S. and every trainer has had one thing in common, if you get hit fouled, you don't take **** and you foul back! You don't become someones ***** in the ring, they can't get away with anything. So say what you will, it was a sucker punch but it was totally legal, Cortez removed himself from between the two fighters and time was still in.

    I have nothing but respect for Floyd inside that ring, he did what was right. He's still an idiot and acts like a fool outside the squared circle, nonetheless 99% of the boxers in this world would have done the same thing, including me.

    You're 100% right. These headbutts were some of the most intentionals I've ever seen. You don't act cool after that. Floyd did what A LOT of boxers would've done.

    But you are right, of only they would read a rule book.

    Is an actual boxer different to a boxer?

    I fight at 154, I was active until 2008, I had a shoulder injury followed by a knee injury, so I'm still taking time off to complete a degree, and recover completely. I am 3-0. Looking to kick back up next spring but having trouble getting management. I moved to a crappy town for boxing, but the school here is good. I'm only 21 though so I'm not worried.

    I dont know man, im a fighter also and I can honestly say I wouldnt have done that. Yes it was legal, but it was unsportsmanlike. Dont get me wrong, I would have tried to make him pay for that headbutt, but not like that.

    Good for you, so many fighters don't have a back up plan for if they fail to make it big....

    Are you orthodox or south paw and how would you describe your style?

    I used to box too but only locally (asnd I'm from the UK so that is quite local)....I loved Tyson and always like to fight like him which was good for majority of the time until I met someone stronger and faster than me lol!

    I'm a boxer and I agree also. If I was in Victor's shoes, I would only be mad at myself and wouldn't feel cheated, because it was my own fault. I think even Victor feels this way by his reaction

    Sure your a nice guy. You would get headbutt dirty and tell the other guy for 10 sec to put his hands up......
